A 27-year-old free
style wrestler and a 87kg class Gold Medalist. Despite his rough-like posture,
he has won against his opponents due to his technical skills. When the Russian
Wrestling Association receives notice to point someone to participate in the
Buriki One tournament, Ivan Sokolov was the instant choice.

Besides his hair,
he appears to be a pretty generic wrestler... I guess that's what the designers
were going for though, so in that sense he fits into his series pretty well.
Also, with that hair... he sort of reminds me of a young Zangief.
Plus he's Russian! lol.
